The Semiconductor Wafer Inspection Equipment Market is being driven by Growing demand for IoT devices
The Semiconductor Wafer Inspection Equipment Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.9% during 2024 and 2029. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 3780.6 million. The semiconductor industry has experienced significant growth over the past four decades, with a notable trend being the increase in semiconductor wafer sizes. Initially, wafer sizes were limited to 23 mm in diameter. However, advancements in technology have led to the adoption of larger 300 mm wafer sizes, which offer a substantial surface area for chip production. This expansion results in a 30% reduction in manufacturing costs and a 20-50% decrease in device costs. In response to these benefits, numerous foundries are upgrading their existing 300 mm wafer fabrication facilities to optimize IC production. Leading memory manufacturers, such as Samsung, Micron Technology, and SK HYNIX, are major consumers of these large-format wafers, as they produce memory ICs on a grand scale using this technology.
